PTFE, White (Natural), Virgin, Plastic Sheet Info
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), also known as Teflon™, is renowned for its extreme chemical resistance and low friction, making it perfect for seals, gaskets, and other high-lubricity applications. With exceptional thermal stability and electrical insulation properties, PTFE is widely used in industrial, aerospace, and electronic applications. FDA-approved for food contact, PTFE is also ideal for medical devices. Its durability ensures long-term performance in various applications, from electrical connectors to industrial equipment components.
Note: Due to the soft, formable nature of PTFE, thinner, skived sheets (1/32", 1/16", and 1/8") may exhibit slight warping or waviness.
